Question

I have two text fields

<input type="text" name="fromdate" > (YYYY-MM-DD)

<input type="text" name="todate" > (YYYY-MM-DD)

Both fromdate and todate have datefields .

Dateformat is (YYYY-MM-DD)

Among these need to validate todate textfield , date should be greater than fromdate
EX: if fromdate is 2011-11-24 todate should be greater than fromdate ,todate may 25,26 etc..,need to validate todate textfield in javascript

Answer 1

If you use the datePicker plugin you could do:

$('#from').datepicker({
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
        $('#to').datepicker('option', 'minDate', dateText);
    }
});

$('#to').datepicker({
    dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',
    onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {
        $('#from').datepicker('option', 'maxDate', dateText);
    }
});
